“in black ink my love may still shine bright.”

“A good leg will fall, a straight back will stoop, a black beard will turn white, a curled pate will grow bald, a fair face will wither, a full eye will wax hollow. But a good heart...is the sun and moon...for it shines bright and never changes, but keeps its course truly.”

“Shine out fair sun, till I have bought a glass,That I may see my shadow as I pass.”

“I'll call for pen and ink and write my mind”

“For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.”

“You may my glories and my state depose,But not my griefs; still am I king of those.”

“Make thee another self for love of me,That beauty still may live in thine or thee”
